Communication is carried out between the handset and the base using . The wireless handset can be operated only within a fixed range from its base unit. The range of operation is generally within 100 meters. The base unit needs electricity to power it. Batteries are used to power the . Placing the cordless handset in the cradle in the base unit recharges these batteries. A period of 12 to 24 hours is required for recharging the batteries.

With features like cell handover, data transfer and international roaming (on a limited scale), the once clear-cut line between and (telefone sem fio) has now been blended by the modern cordless telephone standards.

Frequency bands have been assigned in each country for cordless telephones (telefone sem fio). Advertisements by manufacturers claiming that there is an improvement in audio range and quality with higher frequency are a common sight. But that is not the case. Actually, higher frequencies have been seen to exhibit worse propagation in ideal case. There is also a tendency for the path loss to increase with higher frequencies. Locally varying factors such as antenna quality, signal strength, the modulation method being used and interference are more influential than other factors.

With working on a bandwidth of about 3.6 kHz (a small fraction of the frequency that a human ear can interpret), the transfer of audio is carried out with an audio quality that is just enough for the parties to communicate each other. Because of this limitation in the design of the phone system itself, it is not possible to improve the audio quality beyond a particular limit in cordless telephones.

Most of the good-quality cordless telephones (telefone sem fio) try transferring the audio signal with lowest possible interference and greatest possible range. Even the best of the cordless telephones fail to match the audio quality that a high quality phone wired to a good telephone line provides.

Sidetone (echo of voice heard in the speaker of the receiver), disturbing constant background noise that is due to the cordless system, and inability to obtain a full frequency response that is available in a wired phone are few of the reasons for a not-so-good audio quality. Rare exceptions, obviously, always exist that sound unbelievably similar to a wired telephone. But even these are considered as `fluke` by most industry standards.

Higher frequency is now being used in other home products like the microwave oven, Baby monitor, Bluetooth, wireless LAN, etc. Thus, cordless telephones (telefone sem fio) using higher frequency may face interference from signals from these devices.

Eavesdropping is a constant security threat for analog telephones. Any one with a radio scanner and within range can pick up these signals and listen to conversations. Modern digital technology is thus being used to take care of this kind of unauthorized access.

DSS (Digital Spread Spectrum) makes use of frequency hopping, i.e. spreading up of audio signal over a wider range in a pseudorandom fashion. DSS signal sounds like noise bursts to a radio scanner or any other analog receiver. This signal makes sense only to that base unit which has the same pseudorandom number generator as the cordless handset. Each time the cordless handset is returned to its cradle, a new unique generator is chosen from thousands of options.

DSS generates a signal spread that leads to a kind of redundancy, which gives rise to increased signal-to-noise ratio. It also leads to increase in signal range and decreases interference susceptibility. It is easier to use this kind of wide-bandwidth security option with higher frequency.

Inventors including , Elisha Gray, and all laid claim to having invented the very first telephone.

The late 20th and early 21st century has seen an incredible rise in the popularity of mobile telecommunication devices such as or cell phones. Several countries including the United Kingdom now have more mobile phones in circulation than people. The early history of these can be traced back to the 1940's although the real strides in development and design of these phone began in the 1980's and mushroomed in the 1990's. successful mobile telephone manufacturers include Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung and Motorola.

Further advances in technology have led to component parts of telephones becoming smaller and smaller and therefore the telephones themselves becoming smaller, more compact and easier to carry. There is much competition between the companies who manufacture these telephones to provide smaller phones packed with new tahcnology.

Another major step in the development of mobile phones is the advent of 3rd Generation phones (or 3G to abbreviate). Due to these advances, it will soon be possible for everyone mobile phone owner to make use of satellite navigation devices. Also readily available in most mobile phones is the ability to access the internet. The technology used for this is called Wireless Application Protocol or WAP. It allows to access the internet remotely and nowadays most sites are built to be WAP compatible in order to capture a piece of this market.

The latest and most recent advancement in telecommunications technology is that of the creation of Voice Over IP. Known as VOIP, this technology allows voice communication over the internet. One obvious advantage of this are that most people can use this technology very easily.

Many VOIP providers such as Voipstunt provide the services outlined above for free. For example, you may credit your account with a small amount and then receive free calls to any landline around the world. This in time, as marketing increases and reputation grows will provide a stiff challenge to the traditional telecommunications companies. It is already possible to reduce call costs to zero leaving only the land line element of a bill to pay.

In short, the telecommunications industry is huge and very dynamic. The rapidly expanding market relies on technological advances to make communications cheaper, more mobile and easier to use, and the internet will play a huge role in the future of this industry.

In order for cordless phones to function properly, they must be used within a specified proximity to the base. Most individuals find that they can use their cordless phones throughout the house or in the yard without interruption.

In their earliest days, were common and required nothing more than a connection to a landline. Cordless phones require the same, along with an electrical outlet in order to charge the internal battery. This function is what allows the telephone to operate when away from the base and these batteries are automatically recharged when the phone is not in use. After years of use, the battery may need to be replaced. This can often be difficult on , but a compatible battery can sometimes be purchased directly from the manufacturer. In some cases, it may be less expensive to purchase a whole new phone than to replace a battery in the old model.

Years ago, there was growing concern about the related to using cordless phones. The potential for conversations to be picked up by nearby baby monitors, radios and other devices was troubling to many. However, the manufacturers of cordless phones have stepped up to increase their security. In order to receive the best privacy, a 900mhz or better cordless phones are recommended.

The of cordless phones is undeniable. With their invention, it is now possible to have the telephone with you literally wherever you go. This is especially valuable to elderly people who live alone and need to have a telephone nearby. Anyone who needs to have quick access to a phone will find great comfort in the presence of cordless phones. In addition, the clarity is much greater than the previous rotary models. With a clear conversation and the ultimate convenience, cordless phones have quickly become a staple in every household.

Many individuals are selecting the double handset models, which only require one telephone line but allow for two different bases to be located throughout the house. This is especially desirable for the household with only one landline connection, but has the desire for more than one telephone. A dual handset is like having two telephones, but only requires one hookup. With prices starting at $10.00 for basic cordless phones or $50.00 for a dual handset, there is an option for every budget.

They have become so popular that even children are carrying with them to school and that is why so many companies are using promotional phone accessories as a part of their . But with so of promotional phone accessories to choose from, how do you know which ones to choose?

Here are some tips for choosing the right promotional phone accessories to brand with your company's name and logo.

Employees

One of the first things that you should consider are your employees. What is it that they need when it comes to their cellular telephones? Are they in need of a headset so that they can have hands free talking while they are driving their cars? Are they always having trouble with their running out? When you think about your employees, that will give you a good idea of what type of promotional phone accessories that you should think about.

Clients

Your second thought should be of your clients. Think about the things that they have said to you and what their needs are. Have you been talking to them and had them put the phone down because they were driving? Have they run out of ? Clients are very important to a business and you want to make sure that they have everything that they require in case they need to get in touch with you about their account.

Surrounding Area

Lastly, think about the area that your company is in. Have their been a lot of reports of accidents due to people being on the phone and not paying attention? Was there a law recently passed that people can not be talking on the phone while driving without the help of a hands ? If so, one of the promotional phone accessories that you should have your name printed on is the Bluetooth headset so that you can help people to be safe and law abiding while they are on their cell phone.

If you aren't sure what the needs are of your clients and your employees, you can always have them do a survey to find out what type of promotional phone accessories would be most useful and profitable. It's possible that they may be able to give you insight that you may not have thought of, due to the differences in your standing.

It's important to keep safety and reliability in mind when you are choosing promotional phone accessories for your company. Cellular telephones are something that have made business and life a lot more convenient, but they can also be dangerous when it comes to driving because people don't keep their mind on the road. It's also frustrating when your cell phone battery runs out of power in the middle of a conversation.

Two of the most important promotional phone accessories that a company can choose are Bluetooth headsets and phone chargers. They allow people to stay safe and to remain available, both important things when it comes to business.Matt Franks is director of Fluid Branding, the UK's largest supplier of Promotional Phone Accessories and other Promotional Products at www.fluidbranding.com.

First, it's important to choose a carefully. There are three major providers who offer VOIP in most areas: Vonage, , and Comcast. All three are well-known, and each has different plans and services.

When looking for a provider, you should look first a the quality of their offerings. The best way to determine whether the provider you're considering has a good record in your area is to get online and look for complaints and critical web sites and blog postings. Of course, these must be taken with a grain of salt; not everyone will be happy with every provider. But you can certainly make a good judgment as to whether a provider has an unreasonable number of complaints by doing a web search.

Support is the next important factor to consider in choosing a provider. Again, checking web sites for complaints is a good way to gauge the quality of a provider's support. Another way to measure customer support is to send a pre-sales support request. While some providers handle these support requests better than their actual customer requests, in general this is a good way to see how they deal with customers.

Finally, in choosing a provider, you will want to look at features and options. If it is important to you to phones and have more than one phone in your home, make sure the provider you are considering allows for that. If you want to check your voicemail online and get of new emails, choose a provider with that service.

The best way to make sure you get the features you want is to find out what features are available from all the providers, which may include some you have not thought of, and determine which are the most important and which you could live without.

Once you're comfortable with the provider you've chosen, your next step will be installation.

Most providers will send someone out to install the equipment and set up your VOIP service. If you're doing it yourself, they should provide the equipment and instructions.

If you are purchasing or leasing phone equipment, familiarize yourself with it as soon as it arrives.

Next, you'll want to check all the features once your phone is installed to make sure everything is working as promised.

Your very last step in switching to VOIP will be to study the manual and learn how to use the many features of your VOIP service, from blocking calls to checking messages and asking for help from your provider.

Switching to VOIP can seem like a big move, but if taken step by step, it can be very easy and relatively painless.

Then with the advent of Instant Messaging and chat rooms, communication became more real-time, though still only text was the main venue used. Now the Internet has become so advanced that people can actually use their voices to communicate with individuals online. This technology is known as VoIP, (which stands for Protocol). It can allow people to communicate using voice either through the computer or on a telephone. But the best part of VoIP is that it is significantly cheaper than traditional phone lines. This is due to: the technology involved and the quality it offers.

The first reason why VoIP is cheaper than regular telephones is because of the technology it takes advantage of. Unlike the telephone VoIP simply takes advantage of the service that a person is already taking advantage of, which is the Internet. No new connections need to be made to use VoIP. Yet, with a service, a person must have their house wired with telephone lines. This in itself is expensive for telephone companies, who must help cover their costs through people's phone bill.

The second reason why VoIP is less expensive than regular phones is because unfortunately, the quality is not as good. When a person uses a , the connection can often contain a lot of static, making the conversation hard to hear. Granted, the quality of one's will better depending on what company they use. For instance, free VoIP companies tend to have much worse quality than paid ones. Yet, neither can compare to the quality offered by the telephone, which is good 100 percent of the time. The only time there is ever an issue with telephone quality is if something is wrong with the phone lines. When this happens a person simply won't be able to make a phone call until the problem is fixed. However, how often does this happen? Compare this to VoIP services which have worse quality and, (ng the times when a lot of people are using the service), an inability to make calls quite often.

So, if the quality is so poor, why are people still raving about VoIP? It's because even though the quality is definitely not as good as regular telephones, it's good enough to allow for decent enough communication most of the time. In fact, sometimes the quality can be just as good as a telephone. So, while the technology won't replace the telephone, it's a good supplement when people want to save on their long distance bills and/or they want to have the advantages possible with a second telephone line without actually having one.

In conclusion, VoIP is a cheaper alternative to land lines because they do not require a separate technology to implement and quality-wise they do not offer as much as telephones. Perhaps as VoIP technology progresses, the quality element can be fixed enough so that people can use VoIP completely by itself.

Understanding VoIP is rather difficult for many, but the concept is actually a fairly basic one.

VoIP is the acronym for . Most commonly, the term is written as VoIP (note the small andquot;oandquot;), though there are many other terms that refer to this same process. Telephony is one of those terms, and is another.

The idea of VoIP is too simply to create a network and then allow people to send all sorts of transmissions across that same network. Consider what that can do to the costs of communicating in some situations.

For example, a large office of a half-century ago would likely have two major methods of communication. There'd be a telephone system that connected all the desks and offices within that building - a network of that may or may not have also been connected to outside lines. But what happened when those workers on the second floor needed to see a report that the workers on the eighth floor had just produced? For that situation, there were usually messengers who had the important task of physically taking those documents, messages and packages from one point in the office to another.

Then and machines became affordable and available, effectively replacing the need for messengers in most cases. and faxes became the norm, making it possible for those people within a specific network to instantly share those documents and reports. But there was still a need for telephones for those cases in which voice communication was necessary as well.

As technology tends to do, it was probably inevitable that the personal computers and telephones would eventually find more common ground. VoIP is that common ground.

VoIP allows data and voice streaming within a particular network. That network may or may not be limited to a specific building or company, though many companies are finding that it's a very cost effective way of dealing with the need for data and voice streaming.

The fact that this is typically a very effective and cost effective way of communicating means that more companies are likely to be moving in this direction in the future. For those who are technically adept at understanding VoIP, this means that there will continue to be more jobs in the field. As is the case with computers, it takes some natural ability to be truly adept in this field, but there are also many schools and training facilities ready and able to offer quality programs to prepare you for a career in this field.

As more people and companies understand the potential for effective communication with VoIP, there's likely to be more career opportunities in the field. If you're one of those people who understand technology, computers and electronics, you may very well find that this is a perfect field for you.

For many of us it simply does not dawn on us that we could earn a bit of and sell old units for cash. The is that many of those telephones that we have in drawers and boxes can make us an extra bit of pocket money.

You may have heard of the programs online that will allow you to sell old cell phone units for cash. This is a great idea. Some of these programs will even pay you within two days of when you offer it to them. However, if you care at all about the worth of your phone, you will probably not want to go with these programs. The fact of the matter is that you need to go with a program that will actually the type of device you have. The reason that you would not want to go with one of these programs is because they usually pay low, flat rates for all of the units. Why should you settle for a flat rate when you have an expensive top of the line product? If you have a newer Blackberry, why would you want to accept the same price as those who have a bottom of the line Nokia?

There are some other options that will allow you to sell old cell phone units for a better price. These programs don' out as fast, so they are not as appealing to some consumers. The programs that make a bit more sense if you have a cellular telephone that is actually worth something take about 30 days to pay you for the items you send out. The reason that they take longer to pay is that they inspect every single phone individually to give you the best deal for the units.

As for power, cordless phones are unlike in that they require household mains electricity. The cordless phone receiver is powered by a rechargeable battery when resting in its base station.

Cordless phones use seven frequency bands that have been allocated by the Federal Trade Commission:

1.7 MHz 27 MHz (allocated in 1980) 43--50 MHz (allocated in 1986) 900 MHz (902--928 MHz) (allocated in 1990) 1.9 GHz (1920-1930 MHz) (allocated in October 2005) 2.4 GHz (allocated in 1998) 5.8 GHz (allocated in 2003)

Of those listed, the 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz, and 5.8 GHz bands are used by all phones, including cordless phones, in the United States.



Wireless phones are similar to cordless phones, but they require a connection with a local wired service instead of mobile phone network, and do need to plug into a wireless access point, such as a base station. Using , wireless phones work on a 2.4 GHz frequency band via digital technologies or 802.11a/b/g standards-based wireless LAN technology. The difference between wireless phones and cordless phones, however, is that wireless phones are initiated by connecting to the public switched telephony network () via a call management function. Base stations may or may not have the capability of performing this connection. Most digital systems associated with wireless phones have encryption incorporated into its programming, so privacy is usually an expected and guaranteed feature.

As the progenitor to cell phones, cordless phones are a more convenient form of modern communicative technology than standard or . These portable devices are easy to set up, simple to use, inexpensive (or at least affordable), and include multiple "user-friendly" features, such as privacy encryption and distinctive ringing. It's no wonder why cordless phones are so popular and commonly used today!

That is one reason why more companies are using printed Bluetooth products to promote their companies and their products.

There are a few good reasons why printed Bluetooth products are good for promoting a company.

1. They keep people safe

People don't often pay attention when they are talking on their while they are driving, so the more people who use printed Bluetooth products, the safer that everyone stays. With a lot of towns outlawing driving while talking on a mobile phone, they are more important than ever.

2. They keep people available

When someone has a corporate Bluetooth item, they will be available even when they are driving in their car. When someone doesn't have a printed Bluetooth item, they either don't answer their phone on the road or risk other people's lives while they are driving.

3. They bring a company up to date in the world of technology

Printed Bluetooth items are something that is going to bring the company into the new age of technology. You see them all over the place, people talking on their phones without using their hands.

As well as having a few different good reasons that they make a good , there are a few ways that they can be used to promote a business.

1. and conventions

When a company is at a convention or an expo, they can give out promotional Bluetooth items to people who sign up for accounts. With the popularity of the items, people are going to be interested in signing up for an account to get one of these items.

2. Employees

So that your employees are always available, they are a good item that you can give out to your employees. This will ensure that they are always able to answer a when you or a client needs to get in touch with them. They are an item that is good for business.

3. Clients

They are also a good item to give to clients who are highly valued. It shows that you want them to be able to get in touch with you when they need to ask you a question. It shows that you care about them and want them to be able to call whenever they need help.

Promotional Bluetooth items are something that makes good business sense because it keeps your company available wherever your employees are. They help to keep people safe when they are driving because they don't require you to take a hand off of the steering wheel.

When a company is looking for a promotional item that is going to keep their employees available and safe, they should look toward printed Bluetooth items.

Well, this sounds a lot like the other phone companies, so what really makes the VOIP technology better? It is debatable as to whether or not this is better.

So, there can be a problem with the VOIP technology.

There is also concern that the VOIP does not full support their own encryptions yet. it is easy to eavesdrop on VOIP telephones and to even change what is being said. Experts are working on security options, but have not yet found one that is completely reliable to take care of this problem.

If you look at it only one way, you would say, this is a major problem and I can not deal with that. However, consider the cyper terrorists. They can and will disrupt any communications system-all it takes is the time and patience to find a single flaw and everything can come crashing down.

How does someone know whether they are applying for the genuine article? And while questions are being posed, what does a data entry work at home job involve for the average individual? In order to understand it better, here us some information about the job.

Working at Home in Data Entry.

Streamlining offices and making the task of word processing easier is something most organizations are constantly looking for these days. It's no wonder, what with the focus being placed on information these days. This is perhaps one of the biggest causes behind the boom currently being experienced in the field of .

As the name itself implies, the work of a data entry employee typically includes setting up and preparing reports, mailing labels, letters, and other textual material. s are often entry-level and so those holding this position may begin by addressing envelopes, typing headings on form letters, or preparing standard forms on typewriters or computers. As they gain more experience they may be assigned to complete more complicated tasks that require a higher degree of accuracy and independent judgment.

For working at home, an average data entry employee must word processing equipment in order to do the job professionally. In a modern context, this translates to a personal computer with an ink-jet or laser printer, though some companies may allow their employees to make use of a part of a larger computer system. This typically would include a keyboard, video display terminal, and a printer. Whatever the case, the word processor is used to record, edit, store, and revise letters, reports, memos, forms, statistical tables, and other printed materials.

In addition to completing all the duties mentioned above, a work at job may also include other office tasks, such as answering telephones, operating copiers, filing, or using other office machines. There may be variation in job titles but the nature of the job remains essentially the same.

For example, many clerk typists are data entry employees who combine typing with filing, answering telephones, sorting mail, and other general office work. On the other hand, Note readers transcribe stenotype notes of court proceedings into standard formats.

In order to use VoIP, a person will need a along with some type of input device to record their voice. This can be a microphone or something more sophisticated such as a VoIP-designed telephone. Indeed, VoIP is quite an , but how does it compare specifically against the ? This article will examine that question by evaluating the three main differences between VoIP and . These differences are: cost, voice quality and the ability to make emergency phone calls.

One of the biggest differences between VoIP and traditional telephone service is in the area of cost, as VoIP tends to be cheaper. However, this will largely depend on the type of VoIP service a person decides to use. For example, there are quite a few that are free, but the quality is awful. Then there are those like Skype where users can have access to VoIP for a nominal yearly subscription fee. Alternatively, there are VoIP services like Yahoo Phone, which work on a prepaid basis. However, in all of these scenarios, the issue of long distance is the same=85 it is either free or significantly cheaper than what would get with a traditional telephone. This is the case whether the calls are done nationwide or internationally.

The next difference between VoIP and the traditional telephone line is in regards to voice quality. Most land line telephone services will always have excellent quality. This is not the case with VoIP, which has good quality sometimes. In fact even premium VoIP services tend to not do as well as a regular telephone. Of course, there are ways to try to improve VoIP quality. For instance, having a DSL connection significantly helps with VoIP reception. Also, it helps to try to not overload one's Internet connection with a lot of downloads, since this frees up more bandwidth for a VoIP service. Yet, doing these things will only make the voice quality so good with VoIP.

The last difference between VoIP and traditional telephones is when it comes to emergency phone calling. Most VoIP services whether free or paid do not have the capacity to allow for 911 calls. Conversely, the regular phone line does. It is for this reason that even if VoIP works perfectly most of the time, a person will still need a regular phone line.

In conclusion, the three main differences between VoIP and normal telephones are cost, voice quality and whether or not a person can make emergency calls. Both obviously have their advantages and disadvantages, though VoIP is not enough by itself to meet a person's complete telephone needs. Yet, if a person wants to make a lot of long distance calls, especially international ones, the regular telephone bill would just be too expensive. So, all in all, while VoIP cannot currently replace a traditional phone line, it does make for a nice complement to it.

VOIP often masquerades by other names as well, such as: , , and digital phone.

Now that you know what VOIP stands for, I'm sure you want to know what it is exactly. VOIP is the latest, hottest trend in telephone service. VOIP makes it possible to have voice conversations over the Internet through the use of Internet phones.

Now this ability to have conversations via your computer has many advantages. One is that it makes it easy for business people to stay connected and in touch. also has the advantage of giving people from around the globe an opportunity to talk directly for generally much less than long distance charges would be. The savings on telephone charges alone make VOIP highly attractive to many people.

While these are great advantages, there is a downside. Because of its newness, VOIP technology is not quite as good overall as ordinary telephone service. Many people who use Internet telephony complain about the reception they get. This technology is rapidly improving, though, and some already have equipment out there.

Too, unless your digital telephone is directly connected to a landline phone company, you will be at the mercy of power outages. There's also a problem with Internet providers going down and leaving you stranded without telephone service. So many experts recommend that you keep a landline or cell phone along with your Internet phone. This, of course, pushes up costs which makes VOIP telephones less desirable to many folks.

Another downside to VOIP technology that's very important to know about is that it is susceptible to identity theft. Because many VOIP service providers do not have secure lines=97yet=97your calls can be listened to by people you aren't aware are listening in.

It's a little like the old days when the telephone was first invented and mass produced.

People called through what were call "party" lines that meant anyone could listen=97and they did. We humans just can't resist eavesdropping. Today, though, this can also make it easy for those unscrupulous, well, thugs to rip off your personal and confidential information. So when choosing a VOIP service provider, you want to be sure you're getting the most secure line as possible.

And just like when the telephone was first invented, VOIP technology will take some time to perfect. But it is technology that's here to stay. As people get busier and are attempting to multi-task everything, being able to have a telephone conversation while you continue to work on your computer, all in one simple package, is just too good to resist. So the one thing you can count on is that in a year or two, VOIP telephones will be practically as common as cell phones=97and probably with equipment and service plans available that are as good as cell phone manufacturers and service providers have now.

The key is to find the first, Quimby says, and there are many more available toll-free numbers that spell out something related to your business than you would imagine. For instance, when he ran a search for toll-free numbers related to naming, he came up with 888-DR-NAMING (which I immediately reserved), 866-NOW-NAME, 877-PRO-NAMING, 888-WEB-NAMING, 877-TOP-NAMING and hundreds of other options.

Once you find a toll-free , the next step is to make sure the corresponding domain name is available for registration. 888DRNAMING.com was available, and I reserved that as well for future use. Then I was all set for a radio publicity campaign, a or just rebranding.

Some points to keep in mind if this sort of naming strategy excites you:

* Although North American phones show letters on the keypad, telephones elsewhere in the world may not. Likewise, toll-free numbers in North America cannot be dialed from other continents. If you have a global business, branding only through a toll-free number that works only in one part of the world may not be a smart idea. However, it can still be a good way to attract North American customers, since you can forward the toll-free number for just pennies a minute almost anywhere else in the world.

* The cost of getting calls through a toll-free number can be as low as 2.85 cents a minute, with no monthly fee or monthly minimum charge. Aside from the one-time cost of getting a vanity toll-free number, it doesn't cost any more on an ongoing basis than a toll-free number that does not spell anything.

* Although numeric numbers are easier to dial, spelling out words get more calls than numbers comprised of random numbers. In a study done by Bellcore, print ads that had an 800 toll-free number attracted six times as many calls as regular, non-toll-free numbers. And contrary to what you might expect, this held true regardless of the socioeconomic status of the caller.

* Older telephones don't show the andquot;Qandquot; (which correlates with 7) or the andquot;Zandquot; (which correlates with 9), but most recent models do. Note also that you'll get more misdials if your vanity words include the letter andquot;O,andquot; which can be mistaken for the zero key. * The more you advertise on billboards, trucks, radio or TV, the more important it is to have a number that spells something. And if you are a small company, a vanity number makes you seem bigger and more established. When Bill Quimby tells people to call him at 1-800-MARKETER, few would guess he works out of his home. A toll-free number also emphasizes that the company wants to hear from customers.

* Whereas so many great domain names are already taken, many more of the 800YourName.com type of domain names are still available.

His company runs public seminars around the country on a weekly basis, dealing with thousands of delegates every year; here is his advice to you if you are planning a similar event.

The registration process may be your first opportunity to connect personally with a customer and demonstrate to them what your values and standards are. Like all relationships, we generally judge what someone is like in the first and this is no different. You should consider each delegate as a potential lifetime friend who you are meeting for the first time and you should give them no cause to question your professionalism.

If this is the first time you have run an event and your admin staff have not yet cut their teeth either on delegates or on the product (the event), take plenty of time to script everything from the first telephone answer to the most set of requests and questions you can think up. Give your people a chance to role-play those first 60 seconds until it becomes absolutely second nature. Answer before the first ring

Consider what standards your ought to be meeting. One organization demands that all of its telephones are answered "on or before the first ring" to demonstrate its urgency and alertness. "Hey! That's not physically possible", I hear you say. Well, some telephone systems ring first at the receiving end before the caller hears the first ring in their ear, meaning that if you pick up after the first ring, the caller won't hear a ring. Although that can be a bit scary, you may want to set your standard around 3 rings and stick to it.

There are all sorts of other standards that are worth discussing with the admin team to ensure that your customers get a good standard of service:

• call-back within a promised timescale

• paperwork posted within 8 working hours

• emails sent within 4 working hours

• database up to date at the end of each working day

• payment reminders sent out 21 days, 28 days and 35 days after registration

Having set standards, make sure there is an easy way of checking that they are being adhered to. It is better that the admin team has their own monitoring system that you can check from time-to-time than to have big brother/sister keeping a permanent watchful eye on standards.

Gary Chapman also encourages his Admin Team to treat one another in the same way, using the same standards that they would use with an external customer. This way you actually remove stress and conflict as there is no potential to make a wrong decision. "What's the point of double standards?" asks Gary "Any reasoning person, given the choice, would choose the easier option. That's how standards slip. We don't give ourselves the choice!"
